Remember to order your Christmas shoulders and Boston butts from the Davis-Townsend Lions Club this year. Please note that the price in the Nov. 29 column was incorrect. The correct price is $45 for shoulders and $25 for butts. These need to be picked up at the Lions' Den on Turner Road no later than 10 a.m. on Christmas Eve. This is a good time to drop off those old eyeglasses and hearing aids, Campbell Soup labels and printer cartridges. And don't forget that broom that you have been meaning to pick up. The Lions have a good supply of toy brooms which make a good gift for the little ones. To place an order, please contact any member of the club or email chrisjenministries@gmail.com. The Lions enjoyed their recent visit to serve refreshments to the Davidson County Civitan Club. We should all share their enthusiasm for working for others and having a good time. The Davidson County Lions Council sponsors two Christmas parties for their visually impaired persons. The Lexington area party was held at the YMCA on Dec. 6. It was great to see D-T Lions were well represented by 23 VIPs, Lions and their guests. The club is now looking forward to its own Christmas party at Morrison's Grove on Dec. 17.
